Hi, again.
Hi, it’s been quite a while since I last wrote! There has been quite a bit happening in my life, and as I knew that this blog is easily revived (it’s just waiting for time to write and publish), I had set it aside for the time being. But now, I’m learning to manage my time a bit better, and many other situations have leveled out for now. So, I have returned!
You will most likely be noticing some differences, and to be quite frank, I probably will as well! I’m looking forward to learning to write better, listen to the Spirit’s inspiration, and also, just sharing my life, albeit filtered for the internet. I’m not promising exciting adventures 🙂 but life in general is an exciting adventure if you have the right perspective! I’m not sure I’m there completely, but I’m trusting God to finish what He has begun.
Which reminds me… it isn’t just that I wish you, dear reader, to learn of ME and MY life (there is already entirely too much self-focus nowadays) but, rather, that you would perhaps catch a vision of the Abundant Life in Christ Jesus. He has been bringing me to the realization of how prideful and walled-in I’ve been, as well as selfish, foolish, and wrongfully fearful. And I realized that is no way to live one’s life, this wonderful, amazing gift from God.
I don’t want to live that way anymore, nor do I wish to post anything of that sort. I tried to avoid it for a very long time, but that only leads to a heart of hypocrisy and legalism. It is only recently, as I began truly to quiet myself in the presence of the Almighty, that He has been showing me that there is no avoiding my sinful nature, the nature each human being is born with. There is only redemption. Redemption only comes through faith is Christ. It is much more than belief.
Faith is, in a few words:
- Love
- Trust
- Forgiveness
- Compassion
- Surrender
- Submission
- Confession
- Healing
It is faith in Christ that forms Blessed Pleasance within one’s soul.
Well, I have much to write of and about, but for now, this letter will have to suffice.
I hope and pray the rest of your day (or night…) goes according to the Lord’s leading.
Peace.
–Liz
P.S. Here are some pictures of the past month or so.
